I can't say I understand it completely, either, but isn't the difference that during WW2, the US had huge capacity for building various arms? They were already at war and were churning out weapons like hamburgers. Now, on the other hand, even with the same kind of deal, the US don't have the industrial capacity to ramp up weapons production so suddenly. So Lend Lease or not, if there is not equipment, there's also none to send.
As the video quotes someone: "The West moves slowly, but in the long run, we have the ability to out-produce anyone, it just takes time". Time, meaning years. Europe comes unprepared because we have just lived through the longest period of unbroken peace in the last 600 years.

I completely agree with the OP, but I don't think there is any nefarious purpose. Rather, they worry that viewers will change the channel if they go too deep into any topic. They understand that to keep viewers in their seats, coverage of any topic must be exciting, colorful, emotional, moralistic, superficial, offering simple solutions to complex problems, lots of CGI and video. At best, they offer 'news-tainment', not education. This is especially the case with US media. Just look at the hosts: They all have to look good, with perfect hair and bright smiles, as if that has any relevance to what goes on in the world and in society.
